When a priest disagrees with his bishop or when bishops disagree with each other, they must air their differences -- even loudly -- but never talk behind each other's backs, Pope Francis told the group of bishops and priests. A transcript of the pope's remarks was released by the Vatican July 27. "Say it to his face," the pope recommended.

"You're a man, so if you have something against your bishop, go and tell him. There may be consequences, but pick up your cross, be a man!"

That's the first thing I thought!Holy Father, there isn't "one" of us who are turning bitter, there is a whole GAGGLE of people who have a problem.I've got teens growing up in the world who are confused. I've got a convert husband who is quickly drifting away.Pope Francis, I've got a bone to pick with you.

"say it to his face." Yeah, just like Mikey Voris said to write a letter to him, a letter that will never be seen by the Pope in a million years. This man knows well that people are afraid to confront the hierarchy because of the viciousness of so many priest and bishops in it. So, we sheep will do our bleeting from the rooftops of the electronic and print media where you can't touch us!
